Gite Azilane

I have been a regular visitor to Abdelkader for a number of years now, both solo and with my family. Basic mountain Accomadation with huge friendliness and just the most superb fresh homemade food! Great place to relax and chill for a while. Recommended.

The owner is a always smiling man who loves to take care of you and makes you unstress completely. He brings you homemade bread, uses home grown vegetables in his tajin and is happily to tell you stories of the area. 

We stayed at the Gite for 2 night at the end of October 2016. We were a group of 30 hikers from Spain and just fitted in the place. The gite is very basic, but for the price you can´t ask for more.The owner Abdel was very kind and helpfull. When we arrived Abdels suns picked us up with their 4x4 (they have 2) and drove 2x to bring us all to the Gite, a one hour drive one way from the point where we ended our hike. The next day 8 of us did not want to hike so Abdel,s son took us to Chefchaouen, also about 1 hour drive on the bad and winding roads, for just 80 euro´s (so 10 euros each), both ways. A friend got the flew and was taken care of very well bij the family of Abdel, and i got diarrhea from drinking water from a well on the way, and they also took good care of me the day i couldn´t go hiking. Warm water shower, that´s very nice. The food was delicious and everything was ecological and fresh from the land or the animals: goatmilk and cheese, all kinds of fresh vegetables, chicken, cow and goatmeat, honey, jam,bread, everything prepared fresh at moroccan style. On the day we went home Abdel´s son took all of our luggage and me to another point where we were pickup up by buses, another time a 1,5 hour drive.Even though i didn´t feel well, i enjoyed my stay very much there.

Three friends and I walked the 6 hour hike from Chefchaouen in search of Azilane. Once we got to the top we weren't sure whether we had taken a wrong turn since we could only see a couple of houses in the far distance, and definitely nothing you would call a village. Anyway, we decided to walk on in the hope that we would find "Gite Azilane". As we were walking past a bend in the road all of our hearts skipped a beat as we were greeted by a very loud and surprising "OLA!". Abdul was sitting under a tree waiting for us with his big smile, everlasting handshake and pigeon English. He then uttered "honey", turned and walked into the forest. A bit confused, we carried on walking until we found the beautiful Gite Azilane. 

We were warmly greeted by Abdul's daughter-in-law who gave us copious amounts of tea and cake. We spent the afternoon on the balcony in tranquillity looking out over the most breathtaking views.

Later on Abdul returned with a bucket and a faint buzzing noise. He opened the lid and a few bees flew out. He had brought back a huge amount of fresh honey comb,  which he let us devour a large portion of. 

They provided us with a huge tagine with salad, bread and olives. It was delicious. Throughout the evening different members of the family came to chat with us about the local area and even asked us to teach them some English. Abdul also joined us for some stargazing. 

The rooms and bathrooms are basic but comfortable. This guest house is extremely high on character, atmosphere, charm and beauty, but a little basic. If you need wifi, technology and luxury, this isn't the place for you. But if you want beautiful scenery, good food, a good night's sleep and to be welcomed into the family, this is definitely the place to stay. 

I left this place with a full heart. The man who runs this guesthouse was cheerful and had real character, and yet looking after us was obviously only part of the hard work this family performs on their farm every day. He only spoke small pieces of English, but we were able to communicate warmly and within one evening, he felt like a grandfather. The guesthouse is basic, but clean, and a welcome sight after a long day's hike. We were told that we could have a hot shower, but it would take time for the family to go and boil enough hot water- their electricity is solar powered (we opted for a 'wet wipe' shower instead- which was perfectly fine for one night). In any event, it seemed like you might have had to take a towel if you wanted any kind of shower. There are several rooms and my husband and I had a room to ourselves. The beds were comfortable.  Clean smelling sheets and blankets were provided. The evening was rather cold, but there was no shortage of blankets and we slept quite well, awoken by the sound of roosters crowing and donkies braying! The food was great. We ate breakfast watching the farm come to life and daily chores being performed. I am very glad to have had this experience.
